Once again, Christoph apologizes for his prolonged absence from the interweb. He’s a busy little elephant and has been spending the month eating yummy food and being cool. He got himself some ice, as you can see.

About a month back, Christoph joined Truepenny and A up at A’s cottage for some relaxation and good eats over Reading Week. He helped them try their hand at making sushi for the first time!

The whole meal consisted of salmon rolls & nigiri, eel rolls & nigiri, miso soup and, when we tired of rolling, we just tossed some salmon, eel and other ingredients in a bowl with rice. And champagne to celebrate our culinary accomplishment (though of course Christoph is too young to partake of such things!).

Overall, it was rather delicious for a first attempt. The rice of course was really the difficult part, and A did a fine job of not messing up what Truepenny likely would have.

On the less sophisticated end of the spectrum, Christoph and Truepenny also made chocolate-chip-peanut-butter-cup cookies!

Mmm. Maybe not as fancy as sushi, but very delicious!

Though it’s essay season for Truepenny (which results in many nights in for both her and Christoph) Christoph promises to take better care of his blog!

You’ll hear from him again soon!
